Transsexual, transgendered and intersex people have become increasingly morevisible since the 1990s, but the churches have been slow to recognize theirlives and their contribution to theology and the churches. As theologians we aremystified by this, since a redemptive history based on the multiple possibilities of incarnational theology is best read as lived in trans/luminal spaces. Trans/formations is a passionate book borne out of the outrage felt at the ever narrowing boundaries of theology. It is passionate too because it comesfrom a deeply held incarnational belief that dares to take the lived experience of people seriously as part of the redemptive ground we share. It is a book thatwishes to shake not shock, it seeks to shake us out of the contented narrowness of a cosy Christianity and into one that seeks always to expand the incarnational tent that is our home. The contributors ask questions not only of the churches and theology but at times also of gender and sexuality theorists. It is time we all thought anew, and this book hopes to aid that debate.Lisa Isherwood is Professor of Feminist Liberation Theologies at the University of Winchester.

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...
